A/N: Hey guys, how are you?
So this is going to be a little different, I hope you like it.
So Guest asked if I was doing the revel of the interpol past earlier. I don't know, but I don't think so.
I do have some ideas for latter episodes, but nothing to do with that yet.
I hope you like it.
Season 2 Episode 18 = Jones
Getting to work on Monday was interesting. As I stood in the elevator of the BAU I was thinking that I had to talk to JJ, to Derek, to.. well basically all the parties involved on the weekend fiasco needed to be addressed, and boy was I not in the mood.
And to top it off I had a lot of missed calls from a friend from London. Jenny and I meet when I went to do the preparatory undercover lessons for Interpol. She wasn't a agent, just a friend I met in the city and ended up staying in touch after Interpol.
I had given her my mother's phone after leaving London, and she had given me hers. She knew I was doing some police training, but that was all, so for her to have called my mother and then me, it was strange.
I hadn't had time to call her back, but I would try to today, as I left the elevator and got close to my desk Morgan said.
"Don't get comfortable, we already have a case, and they are in the conference room." Looks like talking will be left for a latter date.
And after another embarrassing moment with Doctor Spencer Reid I wanted to get on a hole and die, could he be a little less hostile in front of everybody, because when we were alone I already new he could be a little vicious.
My phone started to ring, so I got up and stepped away from all the other agents and into the little kitchen area.
"Prentiss."
"Emily, thank God, it's Jenny."
"Hey, I'm sorry I missed so many of your call, is everything alright?"
"Oh, I'm the one who is sorry for basically stalking you, haven't talked in three years and then starts calling like a lunatic." We both laugh. God was it good to speak with someone that you knew you could trust. She was a sweet girl that had even given me a place to stay in my first days in London, no questions asked.
"I actually need a favor."
"For you anything." She had kept me in a heated apartment when my place had being below zero for weeks because of problem in the central heating of the building.
"My cousin Liam, he got transferred to D.C. And I remember you said your mother lived there, so I was wondering if you knew enough about the city to give him a little tips and all that. He got there on Thursday and is a little lost."
"No problem at all, I actually live in D.C. now and I would love to give him a tour around." I offered, if he was anything like her I would have a good time, she was one of the funniest people I have ever come across, and if he wasn't at least I would spend some time with someone outside the BAU. "Just give him my number and ask him to call me, I'm away on a case for the next few days but we can schedule something."
I could see agent Gideon coming closer so I ended the call quickly. Now I had to be on agent Prentiss mode, I just hope Reid and I can work without any arguments this time, I had a feeling we were going to get paired off a lot in the next cases.
Just as we were getting on the plane back to Virginia I got a call from a unknown number.
"Prentiss."
"Ok, I really hope this is the right number. My name is Liam Jones and I'm Jenny Jones cousin. She said I could call."
"Hey, I've being waiting for your call" I could see Morgan's face and new this was going to cost me, I started getting away from the rest of them.
"Good, last time she made me call the ambassador's house without telling me and I almost killed her." Gosh only Jenny would do that to a guy.
"I can very well imagine she would do something like that." He started laughing, he had a nice voice.
"So, do you think you can try and show me something around here? I mean, not that London is the most organized place in the world, but D.C. is insane, I've gotten lost more times then I can count already." Poor guy.
"I'm getting back to D.C. today actually, so how about lunch?"
"Jenny didn't say you were away, I'm going to kill that girl." I could hear him muttering on the other side of the line.
"Liam, it's fine, my job involves traveling a lot, so I'm used to it, so for me lunch it's perfect." I said laughing a bit.
"Ok then, I work at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, do you know it?"
"Yes I do, I'll get you around 2 PM for a late lunch, is that ok?"
"Of course, thank you very much Miss Prentiss."
"Not at all, and please call me Emily. I'll see you latter."
"I'll see you soon Emily.
I got back to my seat besides Morgan and he was looking at me, I pretended not to notice. Then as I look up I saw that everyone was looking at me, not just Morgan.
"What?"
"Please call me Emily." Morgan mocked me.
"So?"
"Someone got a hot date today."
"No, I'm going a friend a favor. Now drop it."
"And does that favor involves…" Before Morgan could finish he was interrupted by agent Gideon
"Someone doesn't know when to stop" I slapped his head just for good measure and we all laughed.
"I'm just showing a friend's cousin around D.C., I mean he doesn't know anyone, just got transferred here and is a little lost. And no, I'm not telling him where he should get an apartment, we've being over the fact that I'm pants at that." That got another round of laugher.
I got up and went to get a cup of coffee; I was sure going to need it if I wanted to be on my game at lunch. Not that anything was going to happen, but it was nice to be prepared, after all he did sound good.
And you suddenly realize that you haven't had a good date in a long while when you get excited by a guys voice, I'm getting pathetic
"Hey." I looked behind me surprised to find Reid, since I was a little pissed with what happened, I decided to get out before he could start a fight.
"I'm just getting a coffee and I'll get out of your way." I finish getting a cup and started to get back to my seat.
"No, wait. I mean, look, I know I've being an ass around you lately and I know you think you didn't do anything to cause it."
"So I did something to cause it?" I tried thinking about it, but I it had being thinking for weeks now, and in all this time I had no idea of a single thing I had done that could have made him just dismiss me like he had being doing.
"Not exactly." I raised one eyebrow at that. " Come sit with me at the end of the plane and I'll explain.
After sitting down with my coffee I stared at him and waited for what he had to say.
"Ok, so I have a problem interacting with people, and the very few people that do interact with me know how to, let's say handle me. And since the beginning you knew it too, and I just started seeing you as someone that would stay."
He looked embarrassed about all that.
"But then we heard that you had being living in a barely done apartment, with a coffee machine being called furniture, and I guess in my brain you just turned into someone that would leave."
"Reid, I don't know what to say." Oh God, he had abandonment issues, and I probably made it a lot worse. "I just moved so much that I was used to not get attached to things, so for me not having furniture meant just less things to clean up and less to worry about."
"You don't really have to explain yourself to me, I was the wrong one to treat you like that for no reason."
"Reid, I want to explain, because I would like to consider you my friend. I know I usually don't share much but I want to change that. I found a place you know, it's in a nice place in D.C. according to Morgan and I am going to buy furniture. I want to make it a home." We both smiled at that.
"That's good, you know 35% of woman at your age don't really know if they want to settle down or if they want an adventurous lifestyle, which is not that big since around twenty year old girls the percentage is around 65%."
"My age Dr. Reid?"
"What I meant was…"
"Reid, just don't man, just don't" Morgan and I started laughing at him…
I guess we were all going to be ok.
As we got to the BAU Morgan decided to be forward, at first he would look at me and then at JJ, and I ignored him.
After a while he would look at me and point his head in JJ's direction, since she had decided to share a desk with Spencer and do reports in our common area, I pretended not to notice.
And finally he asks me to accompany him to the break room, yes Morgan because that is very subtle.
"So…" I asked.
"You know exactly what, when are you talking to JJ?"
"Not now, maybe at the end of the day."
"Why, this is getting ridiculous, you barely even talk."
"We are fine Morgan, you are the one who's uncomfortable with it. And I'm not saying I'm not going to talk to her, I'm just saying not now."
"Why not?"
"I don't want to have a possible fight right before a date."
"I thought you said it wasn't a date"
"And I thought I told you to leave it alone."
"So, what's his name?" I started walking away.
"Oh no, no way in hell we are having this conversation"
"What conversation? Do I need to talk to you about the birds and the bees."
"Uhh hot date tonight princess of the dark?" Garcia just had to get here now.
"Not tonight, apparently prince charming can't wait until the darkness comes, and is stilling her for lunch." Morgan was so not funny, especially saying that in front of Garcia, Reid and JJ.
"Where do you get this stuff? You know what, I don't want to know. I'm going to have lunch." I walked out before the jokes could start.
After parking my car and walking around the front of the hospital I decided to sit down on a bench and call Liam.
"Dr. Jones"
"Hello Doctor, you ready for lunch."
"Emily. Hi. Hello. I'm just getting to the lobby, you near by?"
"I'm just outside." I saw a dark haired man get out of the hospital doors dressed in a jeans and a black trench coat, and I was suddenly very happy that I stopped in the bathroom to change my shirt and put more make up on.
"Emily." He was a good head taller then me, and so he leaned down and kissed my cheek, he wasn't as muscular as Derek but looked like he carried some good muscles.
"So, you ready to go?" I was a bit out of words, after all a profiler had to analyze things, but the only word my brain was coming up with was yummy.
"Of course. How was your trip?"
"It was fine, we were just coming back from New Orleans."
"Really? What is it that you do?" And that is the million dollar question right?
"I'm an FBI agent, BAU."
"Really?! My brother works for MI5 and my younger sister is looking forward to join in."
"How many brothers and sister do you have?" Ok family in police service is a good point for him, after all that means he knows how the lifestyle is.
"I have two brothers and two sisters." He said chuckling. "Mom and dad wanted a big family."
"That must have being great, I'm an only child, so it was pretty quiet growing up."
"Oh we never had quiet at my family, Mom and dad are Italians and decided to raise five children in London. We all got into a lot of trouble." He told me with a smile on his face and I could see he loved his family very much, and was probably very close to most of them, if not all. His phone beeped, and he looked at it.
"Do you have to go in?" I was actually sad, he was a very good company and lunch looked promising.
"Nope, I just asked for follow ups on a few patients and the nurses text me, I don't have any urgent patients right now, so only if an emergency coming in I'm all yours. For lunch." He smiled and put his phone away.
"Come on, let's eat before you really get called in." As we started walking to my car I smiled to myself, this looked like it would turn out a dinner date, maybe. If I was lucky.
